This Franco-Malagasy quintet explores the new sounds and frantic rhythms of tsapiky, a young trance music born in the bal-poussière ceremonies of southwest Madagascar.Extending the collaboration between Electric Vocuhila and the musicians of guitarist Behaja's group, this ensemble creates an unprecedented combination with the saxophone, merging tsapiky with (free) jazz and rock.Originally from Sakaraha, in southwest Madagascar, Behaja is one of the most influential musicians in contemporary tsapiky. Deeply rooted in the Mandriampototsy (bal-poussière) tsapiky tradition, he is renowned for his mastery of the new guitar techniques, rhythmic approaches and structural developments that have emerged in the past 10 to 15 years in the Tulear region.Deeply passionate about Malagasy tsapiky for the past decade, saxophonist Maxime Bobo (Electric Vocuhila, Mitsaitsaiky) travels regularly to Madagascar to perform with various modern tsapiky groups (Behaja, Rebona, Mahapoteke) and to conduct research and field recordings in order to understand and document the current evolution of this music (see the compilation Tsapiky! Modern Music from Southwest Madagascar, released in April 2025 on Sublime Frequencies).Tsapiky is a young musical style that emerged in the late 1970s in the Tulear region of southwest Madagascar, born from the encounter between village traditions and modern African music, with the electric guitar rising as it's leading instrument.It is performed primarily in bal-poussière ceremonies - funerals, weddings, and other celebrations - during which musicians play from morning until dawn, sometimes for several days.

This collaboration between Davor Bozic and Lee transforms the hypnotic rhythm of the Hand Pan into a cinematic roadmap for the soul. Originally intended as a solo instrumental project, it "morphed" into something far more powerful: a vibrational key to higher consciousness. From the opening notes of "The Wings of a Sound," you are transported beyond the noise of the world to a place where love is the only frequency. Each melody acts as a gentle guide toward higher consciousness, whispering the eternal truth that "All Be Well Within." As the final notes of "Doors" fade, you are left with a profound sense of renewal-reminded that every ending is simply the threshold of a new beginning.

The diatonic button accordion, from the beginning of the 19th century, became hugely popular in traditional rituals, secular celebrations and love songs, bringing a new aesthetic to Masikoro music in the south-west of the Great Island.The Masikoro's appropriation of the instrument began with modifying it's scale to suit indigenous ears and music. This involved carving the reeds of the accordion to turn it into a "prepared accordion". As the instrument is very difficult to find in new condition, musicians play on old models inherited from their fathers, sometimes even their grandfathers. Repaired several times, they produce noises and clicks from the bellows that become elements of expression in the music.Often accompanied by singing, rattles and drums, the accordion now plays a major role in various traditional rituals such as possession sessions, ceremonies of exorcism, of circumcision and funerals. It also accompanies dancing and songs of nostalgia, and sometimes the end of market days. UPC: 3415820001187Label: Ocora FranceRelease Date: 4.24.26Format: CD
Karimi, master of singing, drew on the most authentic source of the radif (classical repertoire) to create an intimate expression far removed from any artifice, in perfect harmony with Mohammad Musavi's ney flute -a simple reed with immense power.This is how Karimi illustrates the mode in which he has chosen to sing: "Navâ has a special beauty of it's own. A mode with a sweetness, finesse and subtlety that plunges the listener into a state of meditation. It's melodies are among the most traditional, having been passed on for at least three hundred years from teacher to pupil right down to my own teachers, Davâmi and Hâjji Aqâ".Mohammad Musavi's reed flute (ney) also signifies the calligrapher's pen. There is indeed a way of emphasising a single note in a song as if it were a stroke, of echoing a fragment of it, of seizing on a motif and unfolding it in an arabesque, of organising it's punctuation, which evokes calligraphy and illumination.At this point, two ineffable breaths remain: that of a man and that of a flute. But, as Mowlânâ Rumi suggests, are they not one and the same being? UPC: 3415820001200Label: Ocora FranceRelease Date: 6.5.26Format: CD
Mosaic is an ensemble made up of six musicians from Bulgaria, France, Portugal and Tunisia. Their compositions are above all else a space for musical encounters at the crossroads of jazz and Mediterranean music. Their musical language is varied, combining Balkan ornamentation with the colours of Western European chamber music and the rhythmic essence of North African music. The ensemble explores imaginative worlds and interweaves traditions like a mosaic, passing fromenergetic grooves to the breath of the Bulgarian kaval and the woody sonority of stringed instruments. Now that it's creations have been welcomed throughout the Mediterranean, Mosaic presents a debut album inspired by the different places it has visited and the people it has met.
